Briar is pretty cool if you're on Android.
What's the advantage over signal?
If you have Internet it uses tor and there's no main server to rely on.
If there's no Internet it can use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi locally.
Well I have to admit, those are some pretty snazzy tricks...
Using tor on a per app basis is pretty cool, I wonder what the security implications are for that? If some, but not all of your traffic is going through tor, I wonder if it's easier to disentangle somehow... Probably it's still secure though.
Very cool and impressive, but I'd rather be able to share arbitrary files.
And looks like you can only send images in DMs, but not in groups/forums.
